It’s the news you’ve all been waiting for! We present the first beta of our upcoming 0.9.0 release. For those
of you not already following our development and nightly builds, here are a few of the major changes in this
development branch (codenamed ‘Prosody Everyone Edition’) since 0.8:

Full IPv6 support for all services (c2s, s2s, HTTP, etc.)

Server-to-server authentication using certificates (SASL EXTERNAL)

A new and improved HTTP subsystem, supporting virtual hosts and fully-reloadable modules

Basic pubsub service

Many other fixes and improvements, see our release notes for more information.

Important: This release introduces some changes that require attention from people who upgrade from previous
releases. Please read the upgrading section of our release notes to
avoid any surprises.

We expect there to be one or two more betas before rc1, and then the final release soon after that.

As always, we appreciate all the help that we get testing Prosody. If you find any issues, please report them.
